| New Project - Bacon Cannibal - Run your restaurant like a hog! | 2026-10-01 | A new adventure begins: discover Bacon Cannibal!Hi everyone!A huge thank you for the incredible support you've shown for Prescribe and Pray.With over 6,000 copies sold since its release in February 2026, I’ve kept improving the game as much as possible with the time I had. I know that more updates will be needed to fix the remaining bugs, and I want to deeply thank all the players who took the time to report every single bug and point of confusion, and who supported me throughout these past few months!But as I mentioned in my last update post, Prescribe and Pray is now complete! It’s time for me to move on to new horizons...How would you like |
| Update 1.1.2 - Multiple fixes and quality-of-life improvements | 2026-09-28 | Hello everyone,After many weeks without an update, I'm back with a hotfix that should resolve several bugs and clarity issues that could disrupt a playthrough.Bug Fixes:Mamie Moelleuse is immortal! When she came for a consultation, a simple rejection caused the game to consider her dead. This was unintended and displayed a " " text in the log. While it had no impact on the rest of the game, it needed to be fixed. (Thanks Sydheral)Mamie Moelleuse can now be treated! Her again... An insurance number assignment error prevented access to her patient file on the computer. Combined with the bug mentioned above, it was quite a messy situation. It is |
| Update 1.1.1 - Fixes & Demo Upgrade | 2026-03-20 | Fixes included:Freeze during the prisoner’s escape once his noise meter reached zero, fixed.On Day 25, elves affected by Johnnyssis and placed under the UV lamp would lose their clothes... a very specific bug, now fixed.On Day 30, the cash register receipt amount did not match the amount requested by Grandma (20,000 Francs), fixed.The trash bin animation was centered instead of starting from its base, unlike the refusal box for example, fixed.The achievement related to Grandma was impossible to unlock because she never appeared, fixed! Now, like other special characters, there is a small chance she will appear during your run.Demo updated: it |
| Update 1.1.0 - FULL GAME - Engine Updated & Optimization Fixes | 2026-02-16 | Engine:Prescribe and Pray began development on April 1st, 2025, using Godot version 4.3.Since then, I haven’t updated the engine, because each change brings its share of incompatibilities, despite the additions and fixes in newer versions.However, some players experienced crashes on different days of gameplay, despite all my modifications and optimizations. So, I decided to migrate to a more stable version of Godot. Version 4.3 could have issues with AMD configurations.This is the biggest change in this update, because although most of the game seems unaffected, I had to readapt some systems. Hopefully, the game will run better for everyone!F |
| Update 1.0.9 – FULL GAME – A Few Fixes & Various Corrections | 2026-02-14 | Fixes:End-of-game summary corrected. Most values were stuck at “0” due to an incorrect variable name, now fixed.The cursor was sometimes inconsistent and wouldn’t switch to the “Finger” icon when it should, fixed.More issues with unintended document openings on certain configurations, fixed.Overlapping banknotes at the start of the day. Sometimes they would rearrange themselves when hovering over them; this should now be handled properly at launch.Fines received even when the correct treatment was given! Rare, but I managed to reproduce it (once). It should now be fixed (to be confirmed).Regarding the end-of-day crash, I modified several scri |
| Update 1.0.8 - FULL GAME - One Week Later | 2026-02-13 | Various fixes:Some players were able to fix their crash issues by playing in windowed mode, so I’ve changed how fullscreen works. Hopefully the game will now run properly for everyone.If the crash was caused by the “End of Day” button, it should no longer happen. I’ve added additional safeguards.Added a new NPC “repair” system to prevent missing data that could sometimes occur in older save files, which could cause invisibility issues — or worse.When exiting the blood pressure monitor after turning the patient “red,” they would not return to their original color. This has been fixed.A new “Clock Speed” option has been added to slow down time |

| Did Someone Say Doctor? | 2026-02-06 | Hello,It’s real! Prescribe and Pray is out today!As a solo developer who has been working on this game for 9 months, I still can’t believe it.I hope you’ll enjoy the humor and fun I tried to infuse into the game, sprinkled with references that may be a little obscure, mostly for a French audience, and that you’ll have a great time playing!I will continue to release updates as needed to fix any issues or bugs that may appear. Stay tuned!A bit of context:Prescribe and Pray was born from a crazy challenge: to make my very first game.

| Results of the October Neo Fest | 2025-10-23 | Thank you all for the Next Fest!The Steam Next Fest has just ended, and I want to sincerely thank everyone for all the support you’ve shown for Prescribe and Pray during the event. Whether you played the demo, left a review, added the game to your wishlist, or simply talked about it with others — thank you!With this post, I’d like to share some results — where the game started, and how far the festival helped push it. Of course, Prescribe and Pray wasn’t a massive breakout success, but that was never the goal. For a small first project by a solo developer, with no community or visibility at the start, these numbers are still very encouraging |

| Update 0.4.4.1 – Fixes for Version 0.4.4 | 2025-10-19 | Hello everyone!Thanks again for all your feedback following version 0.4.4! Many of you spotted a few small issues, and this update is here to fix them.Fixes:The day start time has been restored to 8 AM! It was mistakenly stuck at 4 PM due to some internal testing — which explains why there was only one patient per day.The threat letter no longer disappears at the end of day 5: A rewrite of the “patient papers” system was causing the issue.The computer buttons should now be accessible at all times: At least, I hope so — I wasn’t able to reproduce the bug myself, but everything seems to work fine during testing.

| Demo v.0.4 Released | 2025-10-02 | Yesterday, October 1st, the demo of Prescribe and Pray was finally released!This is a big step for me and my team (which is… just me), and it truly means a lot.Available in version 0.4, the demo allows everyone to discover the gameplay and the universe of the game. It took me 6 months to reach this point, and while it is of course not perfect, it still represents a good overall impression of the game.A few points about the demo:In order to provide a pleasant and fairly substantial experience that immerses you in the game world, you will find, among other things:5 days of consultations, for a total playtime of about 45 minutesA short intro pre |
| The Teaser is here! | 2025-09-05 | More than two weeks after this page went live, the teaser is finally here! This is a big step for me, a lone, multitasking independent developer.I focused this teaser on gameplay so that everyone can get an idea of what Prescribe and Pray has to offer, including:Random generation of both physical and personal patients.The five diseases currently available and their symptoms in the game.The examination tools available to the player in the early days and how they work.The many ways to make mistakes when checking documents.The ability to remove your patients' hair to better check their height despite thick hair or a swollen head.Prescribing trea |
